Solutions that help your customers charge with ease and confidence.
Accessible by Design
Accessible EV charging isn’t just about rules, it’s about creating an experience that works for everyone. Simple design choices, like easy-to-handle cables, clear user-interface, and well-placed connectors, make a real difference for drivers with mobility challenges.
Understanding these principles helps businesses and communities build charging sites that are welcoming and usable for all.

Best Practices for Inclusive EV Charging
PAS 1899:2022 Electric Vehicles Accessible Charging Standard, developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI), sets the benchmark for inclusive and accessible EV charging, guiding manufacturers, site owners, and operators to create spaces that work for everyone. By understanding and applying these principles, stakeholders can design sites that are safe, user-friendly, and genuinely inclusive. Following this standard helps ensure that accessibility is considered from the outset, benefiting all drivers, including those with mobility or sensory challenges.
